It has allowed marginalised patients access to care they would otherwise not have received.
It has led to the chronic underfunding of general practice and the culture of 'six minute' medicine.
It has delivered on its promise of equal access to healthcare for all - rich or poor.
Its structure has created tick-box medicine, distorting good clinical practice.
